Bristol Vacation Guide

Bristol is a city in the South West of England, across the Bristol Channel from Wales and about an hour's drive from the Eastern edge of Exmoor. It has been an important harbour for most of its history, situated on the river Avon.

Attractions include the floating harbour area, which is surrounded by clubs and bars, the Arnolfini contemporary arts gallery, the St Nicholas Market (one of the few places in the South West of England that sells decent Caribean food, as well as gifts, jewelry and sometimes there's a farmer's market), and the Bristol City Museum which is due to re-open next year. There are also number of alternative music venues, including a Carling Academy, and the Cooler. Intersting clothes shops can be found on Park Street, as can the Brandon Hill Park, which has great views over the city.
